energy zero point

#1 Post by w6765579 » Thu Oct 25, 2012 4:38 pm

I know the reference energy zero point is relevant to the pseudopotentials, but I am not sure the details. If a compound contains several elements, which element's pseudopotential determines the reference energy zero point?

Besides, is there any difference between the energy zero point of a regular GGA scf calculation and that of a HSE calculation using the same GGA psedopotential?

I'm looking forward for your reply!

The average of the SCF potential is taken to be the reference zero.
